It’s a big Eastern conference showdown on Sunday at Toyota Park. The Philadelphia Union make the trip to Chicago to take on the Fire.

This will be the second meeting of the year between the two teams. In the first game the Chicago Fire came out ahead 3-1.

Philadelphia Union

For the Philadelphia Union they haven’t had a terrible season, but they have had a couple of collapses late in games they should have won that turn into losses, and that really hurt their chances to be in the playoff hunt at this point of the season.

They come into this game with 39 points which ties them for 7th place in the standings, but they are eliminated from playoff contention.

The Union are coming into this game off a really big win though. In their last game they took on the Seattle Sounders, one of the best teams in the MLS and they were able to win 2-0.

To win this game they need to play well on the defensive side of the pitch again. If they do that they can pull the upset in this game.

Chicago Fire

On the other side of this match up is the Chicago Fire who have had a very up and down season so far this year but are still in the playoffs.

They come into this game 52 points which puts them 4th place in the standings, but they could move all the way up to second place if they win out and have a few things go their way.

For the Fire in this game and going into the playoffs the name of the game is consistency.

They have had mostly the same line up all year, but the way they play is very different in almost every game. They need to be consistent and more importantly consistently good.
